"Get out," I whispered again, looking into his deep brown eyes.

His brows furrowed. "I can't leave you in this condition."

A lone tear slipped from my eye.

"You're the only person responsible for this condition."

He swallowed hard and lay down beside me.

"I said-"

I tried to get up, but he grabbed my wrist and pulled me into his embrace again.

His arms wrapped tightly around me.

I stopped struggling. His warmth, his scent... after four years, I finally felt at peace.

My face was buried in his chest.

"Why aren't you leaving me?" I whispered.

He looked down, his gaze intense.

"Because I can't," he admitted. "I'm not able to."

I bit my lip, my heart aching.

"You look beautiful," I said, tucking a loose strand of her hair behind her ear.

"Come up with something new. Half of your guests already used that line," she muttered.

I stared into her kohl-lined eyes.

"Is that so?"

She hummed in response.

"Then how about this-" I leaned close to her ear. "You look like mine," I whispered before pressing a soft kiss against her earlobe.

She shuddered.

I was about to trail kisses down her neck when she whispered, "I'm sleepy."

I chuckled and pulled back.

She strolled toward the staircase, taking slow steps, struggling with her four-inch pencil heels and the heavy saree.

Will she ask for my help?

Nope.

I sighed and walked toward her.
